Andrey Litvinov Eliminated in 22nd Place ($16,020)
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tamazi Skhirtladze opened from under the gun to 160,000 and Umberto Ruggeri three-bet from the hijack to 490,000. Andrey Litvinov, who had just doubled up, was in the big blind and shoved for around 1,000,000. Skhirtladze folded, but Ruggeri snap-called.
Andrey Litvinov: J♦J♣ 
Umberto Ruggeri: K♠K♥
Ruggeri's hot run had continued and he was on the brink of eliminating a player from the field. A flop of 2♠9♦2♣ didn't offer much help to Litvinov, and neither did the 9♠ turn. The 4♣ landed on the river, which meant Litvinov was eliminated.
